I have watched video of these tornadoes. The F4 tornado that hit near Allison, Texas at one point was over a mile-wide and threw a couple of vehicles for two miles. The Pampa tornado was very narrow but very destructive F4 tornado. The Kellerville tornado from what I have heard from others the damage it caused probably warranted an F5 rating. Was not into tornadoes at that but I bet a a lot of chasers that day had a wild experience.

Great new forum idea! Board feature request:

If the board admin wants to do this (http://www.geekpoint.net/forum-administration-management/4648-youtube-bbcode-vbulletin.html) we could embed YouTube video of the event (like this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tJp2TVEM2vI or this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TjXvEZAdRXM&NR=1) right in the thread.

Darren- not many people know this because it was announced in a thread that didn't get much attention but Stormtrack allows YouTube videos to be embedded into threads. The format for this is (remove the quotes and add the video ID which is the letters and numbers after the = sign in the URL): ["youtube"]videoID["/youtube"]

June 8, 1995: I almost blew this day. Gene Rhoden and I jumped the gun leaving the night before and staying in Goodland, KS! We woke up to a surge of cold air and immediately drove south to Perryton, TX where we had a nice BBQ lunch. We stayed around Perryton, TX chasing a storm that developed on the surging cold air boundary but it kept getting undercut. So, we dropped south, along with the Vortex armada, bypassing the Pampa storm and intercepted the Kellerville and Allison tornadoes. Another top ten chase day for me. tm
